There has been some discussion over in Perth on the idea of renaming their competition AFLWA to gain more sponsorship and exposure. It seems that several things have been tried to reinvigorate their competition to no avail.
What is it about the SANFL that makes it so much more popular in S.A than the WAFL is in W.A?
One interesting point on sport in WA is that it is a state where Speedway in summer is hugely popular, massive crowds to Speedway on a Fri-Sat night, yet here, Riverview Speedway at Murray Bridge is popular yet the main track at Virginia is a ghost town. If they can get huge crowds for Speedway, why not for the footy?
